Spelunking Fun Fact: 'Spelunking' was a term that originated in American around 1950. In 1960, the term was used by expert cavers to label unexperienced cave drivers.

"... It takes a considerable amount of planning and gear to be able to actually explore the cave with a little bit of safety in regard." Do not attempt to go spelunking until you are properly equipped. Evo Andrew wraps a HELLRAISER bandana around his arm to prevent abrasions in that one area.

Spelunking Fun Fact: The main causes of injury or death during Spelunking is drowning, falling, hypothermia, and exhaustion. In the event of injury, it is very difficult to get help. So before you try spelunking learn as much as possible about the sport.

Spelunking Safety Tip: After you discover a cave, check off that you have the following items: Good quality leather boots, gloves, kneepads [cheap ones at Wal-Mart do just fine], reliable cave map, extra lengths of webbing or cord for repairing vertical gear or fashioning handlines, carbide repair kits, candles and waterproof matches, snacks, and a cell phone.

Spelunking Safety Tip: If you must do pits, take the time to learn vertical techniques from people who know what they are doing like a rock climber.

Spelunking Safety Tip: Bring light! A helmet mounted light is ideal. Bring a backup flashlight, but nothing larger that a mini-Maglite. If you completely rely on a big flashlight or a lantern watch out. When you drop it and it breaks, you'll be left in the dark. Imagine how effed up that would be!

Spelunking Safety Tip: Check to be sure there is no chance of flooding. If it rains, make sure there is no way water can fill in your cave.

Spelunking Safety Tip: Once inside the cave you'll notice it all looks the same. Getting lost happens to the most experienced spelunker. Make mental notes of landmarks. Here Evo Andrew uses a salty peanut snack wrapper as a point of reference.

"40 minutes into crawling on our stomachs we look up and see cave crickets covering the walls." Final Spelunking Safety Tip: Make sure you tell someone outside the cave when you'll be back. Make sure that person is prepared to mount a rescue mission. But overall enjoy the spelunk.
